The firm’s new Brexit department will be headed by the firm’s Principal Donal Blaney, who supported the Leave side, but also by Andrew MacLeod who supported the Remain side.

The move is notable because both men have roots in UK and international politics. Donal Blaney, for instance, is very well connected to the ruling Conservative Party. Andrew MacLeod has strong connections to international charities and is well-known in Australian circles (he’s from Melbourne).

The two should be able to mount an effective branch of the law firm, drawing on their connections and expertise.

A website has already been established and some of the early blog posts offer some thoughtful insight into a post-Brexit future. For example, by looking at areas such as the EU’s upcoming GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations).

The firm’s angle at the time of writing appears to be to ask visitors to their website what Brexit means to them via a survey. It is not yet know what will happen with the results, though some report or publication is considered likely.
